Or is it a scratch?? NGC MS66

I was so smitten by the holder, forgot to look at the coin.....image

    Looks more like a break in the toning, but it's still pretty distracting.

    Nice color, though image

    Not for me. The scratch is all that I would look at. You can't be serious saying that you didn't notice that before buying.......

    It may just be a break in the toning, but it is very distracting. There was a time when a coin like this was called "MS60."

    Looks like a hair got on it in the case/album is was stored in that caused all of the other toning.

    Beautiful colors but that streak across the face is kinda hard to get past.

    Personally I don't have a problem with that streak whatsoever.

    remember WHEN you show us the holder, ie model it for us; models do a spin on the runway to show us BOTH sides. image

    I think the toning is too dark for it to be in a 67 holder.

    Break in toning doesn't bother me.

    This is a lot like the fingerprint on a coin. I'm usually OK with that also.

    I believe some may have missed the irony in the title of this thread. Quite droll and TY very much image

    Sadly, the nicer the coin, the more a distraction stands out and becomes a detraction. NFM

    Highly distracting, I'd pass if I saw it. Sorry.
